Allegrini

Leading company of the Valpolicella Classica, Allegrini has been producing wine of the highest quality for over 400 years and is considered an absolute protagonist in the development of this wine area. Following the strenuous work conducted by Giovanni, the Allegrini family was able to gather his industrious spirit and passion, to embark on a road to enhance the viticultural and oenological heritage that this land had to offer. While remaining anchored to a rigorous tradition, the company has always shown itself to be a far-sighted winemaking reality and vigilant on the evolution of times and taste, succeeding with Franco Allegrini, today considered one of the greatest Italian winemakers, to bring significant innovations in the production of the key wines of Valpolicella Recioto and Amarone: a drying method has been adopted that is more careful to preserve the integrity of the grapes, the Ripasso technique has been revised which combines the traditional pomace with a part of grapes put to dry which enrich the product with aromatic complexity and elegance, the use of the barrique was introduced alongside the traditional Slavonian oak cask and the aging period was reduced in order to preserve the flavor and fruity aroma.

Finally, in recent years, there has been the creation of a new, younger and fresher line, Corte Giara, with wines produced near Lake Garda and in other areas of Verona, easy to drink, more suitable for moments of conviviality. Allegrini also includes other companies within it: Villa della Torre, located in Fumane, where the family adventure began in 1854, Poggio al Tesoro and San Polo, which instead represent the transposition of the know-how of the prestigious reality of Valpolicella, respectively in the terroirs of Bolgheri and Montalcino.
